Simulations of heavy-ion halo collimation at the CERN Large Hadron Collider: Benchmark with measurements and cleaning performance evaluation

Protons and heavy-ion beams at unprecedented energies are brought into collisions in the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for high-energy experiments. The LHC multistage collimation system is designed to provide protection against regular and abnormal losses in order to reduce the risk of quenches o...
